“A poem discovered in Misram in 127 A.D. (After the Destruction)”

In a land thought unknown, near the Elysian Grove,

there lived a half-mortal named Medeva, and

‘though her husband forbade it, she practiced strong magic —

kept a collection of spells on her walls

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f06rYuKan

wrapped up in scrolls, bound in thick leather tomes,

secrets that had been forbidden,

indexed according to author’s last name, the archivist

kept them locked and well-hidden

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NVen8w2Hd

— words of a prince who led Valentian ships,

recollects the rites of a priestess,

who carried on-board a metaphorical sword,

prayers to the weather and east wind

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3fVibvTI1

— tales of a people who lived in steel cities,

written down by authors unnamed,

revealed the secrets of gods they worshipped,

now dead, Medeva watched over their graves

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjxnM3nZ7m

(lost mages’ magic, calculable madness,

Medeva prepared to conquer,

and though there were skeptics who doubted

their existence

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqrLqY1x0J

she knew they were real by her visions),

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII1GURcTF6

their poems by Kemetians,

the songs of their heavens,

the mouths of their angels in chariots,

her scrolls had been filled with a divine set of skills

passed down by a collection of ancients —

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nBINYoD4R

the man she wed known as Jason

the Dread, a member of the Society of Alchemists,

believed her magic was a fool's task, an errand,

passed down from dead preachers of treason,

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSKQ6ilXmd

so they scoured the house, searched for hours and found

a door veiled by a sky-blue woolen rug

spun in a circle and woven in the center — a medallion

from a story the bards sung.

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXpnLbFVF7

(what if they’d known of that secret legend,

would they have recognized a warning to turn

around? known of that violet iris blooming inside

a diamond studded silver crown?)

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJRA7Dz2U9

but some know nothing of Mystery,

of that which resides in the Unknown,

and therefore will fail to discover the source

of that which calls out from their bones.

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0N9omlAHf

Alchemists entered her chambers,

silently passed through the halls,

hoped that soon they’d discover

the secrets and shelves on her walls.

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ6TxZQNZB

Behold, every room they came to

they discovered the door was unlocked,

but each had been emptied and abandoned,

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6QxKdIYC2

turned out Medeva had gone and run off…

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJDQ2HRZxn

not a single book she’d forgotten,

not even a single line,

knew she must have taken them with her

— this future, she had divined —

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDWVv5fHXK

they turned with hopes to catch her

but the door behind them barred,

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2OTgNifv8

the system had been rigged so

they wouldn’t make it far.

443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPhurZJcDm

Those halls were made of granite, they knew of no escape;

realized long before they got there, she chose to seal their fate.
